Broken Partslet’s take this from the start thenbefore the broken parts andall of the other shit you know I knowwe’ll go from the beginningwork our back again andfind out where we are

before my first mistake andthe ones you found to make andbefore i missed what i mistook you forbefore your new charade wasmarched out onto parade toshow like the relics hung above your bed

i don’t want to lose this all againi don’t want to have to give it all backgoodbye, you take my timebut this used to be mine

before i knew it betterthat all the things you said werejust your impression of what i would think you to bebefore the sunday morningand more the night beforethat found you on your knees

i don’t want to lose this all againi don’t want to have to give it all backgoodbye, you take my timebut this used to be mine

the way this story reads isnow very differently fromthe way i liked to remember it from beforeso maybe better yet thenwe’ll take it from the end whereyou take this back from me cause i can’t keep it anymore

i don’t want to lose this all againi don’t want to have to give it all backgoodbye, you take my timebut this used to be mine

Red Roadscan we kill this yet? as you know, my god, it’s really been the longest year andi’d like to remember differently if you’ve any ideasso please do feel free to make up another story with happier endingwhere most everything is tied up neatly with small bits of string

i know you know we’ve got nowhere to gobut if you could lead me out on red roads i’d probably follow

well i can’t stay here, but then again, just where the hell am i supposed to goi’d try to slip out the windows even though they’re all painted shutbut maybe i forget to blow out the candles sitting in the bathroom sill andthey catch, in a flash, the curtains on fire and burn this place down

i know you know we’ve got nowhere to gobut if you could lead me out on red roads i’d probably follow

so can we go now? we’re losing time cause it’s a new moon tonightand somehow if we can find our way out we can make it past the tree line and the quarry,but we should go before we lose the light

and if you’ll recall, in the dark i drive through gravel clouds on all the back roadsand like that head past all the reservations with my headlights off

i know you know we’ve got nowhere to gobut if you could lead me out on red roads i’d probably follow

i’d rather if you just resent methan for you to know the truth this timeand this is what i keep to myself, you seeno one here could see this comingand what i’m trying to impress on youis put away your books and your maps and your hooks and your traps cause they don’t go nowherethat you would ever want you to beand we knew that you would _keep it in mindso maybe it’s the last thing you want from me

all you knew then from before is so far from thisand it’s just a matter of time till you find out, but even so we triedif only we could do something more, i’m so sorry for this

i wish that it had turned out differently, and you will more than i

i think that it could be okayjust for you to leave it where it liesin that everything doesn’t change todayand how could it be anything lessas it was than a surprise to usand if you knew then you’d understand why we threw up our hands in a sort of prayerthat didn’t help in any wayso i’d rather i could just keep quietas if there’s really something for me to say

all you knew then from before is so far from thisand it’s just a matter of time till you find out, but even so we triedif only we could do something more, so sorry for thisi wish that it had turned out differently, and you will more than i

Nor for NowFourteen of 4:00, in foreign decor, you’re back and forth between my bed and the floorand onto the chair i’m laid out onwe’re dead by design and buried in wine with glasses filled with grapes, pills, ashes and vinesand sure from the start we’re both foregoneBut there’s a while before we rise from the dead and the sun comes alongand you leave my head with words from a songso sing to me now while it’s fresh on your mindand i’ll return it in kind

So, it’s now for now when later’s awayso then, there’s no tomorrow todaybut, we’ll head it straight and into the endor we could wait a little while and we’ll stay out of the way

barely alive, but wont to survive to live it down with coffee stains and goodbyesand hours that stay in well-lit roomsbut at any rate, it’s probably late, and soon you might rescind your offer to waitand open the blinds i’ll see so soonbut i can watch you now and hear how you sing when you’re versed and composedand everything is placed and perfectly posedbut when the keylight turns to open the the doori’ll know for sure what’s in store

So, it’s now for now when later’s awayso then, there’s no tomorrow todaybut, we’ll head it straight and into the endor we could wait a little while and we’ll stay out of the way

i’m dizzy, sick and swimming, drunk and spinning and beginningto think the trend is clearturning back the clock and showing me as somewhere short of knowingi’ve got face up that the end is near

it’s getting lighter now so lie through your teeth while i lie on the groundwith no illusions swirling aroundso you can stand there saying “i’ll see you”and know it’s not not all true

So, it’s now for now when later’s awayso then, there’s no tomorrow todaybut, we’ll head it straight and into the endor we could wait a little while and we’ll stay out of the way

I’m drunk and bored and drunkand I feel like I’m finished exhaling, but smoke keeps on trailingeach thing I’m surprised to have saidOut here in the cold I’m a little too boldfor the good of anyone hereincluding myself, as I put on the shelfhow I meant not to say anything,but too much as always echoes through these hallways but

So far I haven’t said anything that would give me awaybut it’s so far from safe in my keeping, cause I never know what I’ll say

Now the phone won’t stop ringingand I tried to talk it out of this mess, but I can’t so I guessI’ll just try not to say much at allor maybe just say I’m not here as I shrink back for fearthat someone might be listening to meas strange as that sounds, but I’d move undergroundif I thought someone heard what I saidSo now I’ll keep my mouth closed before anyone knows because

So far I haven’t said anything that would give me awaybut it’s so far from safe in my keeping, cause I never know what I’ll say

and you can tell I’m uneasy to talk to depending on what you’re talking aboutcause I’m always about to sell myself outSo far I haven’t said anything that would give me awaybut it’s so far from safe in my keeping, cause I never know what I’ll say

Helloit smells like church in here and we can taste it in the wineand i can’t say now if you knew that part of this was minethere’s something here that you should see, that i can’t touch anymorei’d swear to god but not to you that i’ve been here before

hello it’s me now in front of you now or to at least some degreeit seems to be it’s nothing new now when i don’t remind me of me

the saints don’t stay here anymore, and they’re not the only onesand i can’t say if i was wrong, but it’s all said and donebut then here’s something to ignore and now i’m sure i willmaybe now it’s been too long, but i’d like see them still

hello it’s me now in front of you now or to at least some degreeit seems to be it’s nothing new now when i don’t remind me of me

i guess i wonder just a bit but couldn’t say for sureif i could fit in my old clothes, or what i kept them forbut really that’s the thing of it, not that i can explainbut though i’m better dressed, i know, i’d like a short refrain

and hello it’s me in front of you now if you rememberbut it seems to be it’s nothing new now when i don’t remind me of me

All in Alleighty years old, fallen through the cracksin the floor in the cold, and some some stories never endand some pictures never find their way back home again

it’s not so much to ask, but you never give it backso it’ll keep to the last, cause some things will never mendand though it’s harder at first, it gets easier to pretend

well, there’re electrical clouds, from just down the hallbut you’ll never hear a sound through all the clippings that are pinnedand hanging on the walls that never block the wind

all in all, well you see me as your next door neighbora sort of familiar to sort throughand all i know is i’ve finally fallen out of favorso you can put me with the rest you never you knew

all the paintings you hung before you hung me out to dryare soaking wet in the sun and something you should seea new exhibit in a different gallery

all the colors have run like any other dyeand not to be outdone or surprising at allthe beauty in the detail is nothing you recall

and all in all, well you see me as your next door neighbora sort of familiar to sort throughand all i know is i’ve finally fallen out of favorso you can put me with the rest you never you knew

well, it was harder than it should have been to make out your silhouetteand if you listened to me, it’s just from where you werethere was more to it all than what you overheardwhile you look through the cloud from your last cigarettemaybe you’ve finally found your favorite piece in the showis by somebody that you met but you didn’t know

all in all, well you see me as your next door neighbora sort of familiar to sort throughand all i know is i’ve finally fallen out of favorso you can put me with the rest you never you knew

Well I feel like I owe you, so I’m sure you owe me a little more than you’d repayThe way you looked so hard to find the right thing to say sounded a little like meSo I see where you’re going, but you step on your tongueI couldn’t see your eyes behind the shadows and the lies becauseyour head had hung too as my hands had clung to you

You know that I heard you, I don’t need a word to know that what I thought was wrongI don’t want to see you, I don’t really need to, to know that your already gone

Well I feel like a fool dressed to the nines in all these clothes that I don’t ownMy sister’s little brother with another glass of wine and a hem that my mother had sewnWell I tried not to make it here, and I tried not to careBut even when I try I just can’t take my eyes from thewhite lie you wear with the flower in you hair

You know that I heard you, I don’t need a word to know that what I thought was wrongI don’t want to see you, I don’t really need to, to know that your already gone

Well I feel like I know you, so I’m sure you know me to know I never speak my mindThe way he sort of stumbled toward the end of his line sounded a little like meBut I left all the diamonds that I meant to bringAnd missed him in the crowd you know I meant to say,“Thank you for everything, can I borrow your ring?”

You know that I heard you, I don’t need a word to know that what I thought was wrongI don’t want to see you, I don’t really need to, to know that you’re already gone

Stay Away13 times and 22 more in 17 days, i wandered awayand to that end, from what i recall of how it began it struck me as strangefirst of all, i’d like you to know i’m sorry for this, i’m sorry for thisand i so much wish it were different, but it happened again

So I’ll stay away

i walked off somewhere in the park and it turned me around, i slept on the groundit seemed to me quite a while, but it wasn’t that far … it wasn’t that longi can’t trust me anymore with all of these things and all of these things,i so much wish i could see you. they are what they arein the square i came on a crowd in a beautiful scene i moved in betweeneveryone was watching him play, and on his guitar he’d drawn all these sketchesand i can’t feel a thing at all when i do what they say, and i do what they saybut i can’t take any more, we are what we are

i’ll stay away

can anybody hear me? does it make any sense to say now and again i breakthe more it seems i’m nearly coming apart, i wish you were here

Don’t Tell MeWell, if all you really wanted was for me to come homethen you might have found a minute to just say sosomewhere in the middle of all those wordsmaybe just before the part you know that only you heardI always follow the trail of crumbs’till I’m standing at your door behind a bottle of rumor half a bottle now as it may because I’m sure that you’ve got something to say me

Don’t tell me that you want me to gocause I know you’ll find my number tomorrowDon’t tell me that you want me to leavecause you know you’ll never let me go

Well, I’d fill you a glass, but it would loosen your tongueand I’d like to think that there’s another song to be sungIt seems to me like I’ve heard every oneand I’m scared that I’ll be sober before you’ll be doneDo we really need to pour over this one againcause I’m sure you talked this out before you let me back inSo check the minutes of the meeting beforebefore you start another speech to ignore

Don’t tell me that you want me to gocause I know you’ll find my number tomorrowDon’t tell me that you want me to leavecause you know you’ll never let me go

You could send me away out of sight out of mindor you could save me the trip and the time

Don’t tell me that you want me to gocause I know you’ll find my number tomorrowDon’t tell me that you want me to leavecause you know you’ll never let me go

I’ll See You ThereOh well, you’re shoulders beneath the crowded roomand headed by the wayIt’s not surprising that you were just under my viewcause I never see you clearly andUh-0h, if I make it homeI’d like to trail you in through doorUh-0h, I guess that I’ll go cause I lookbut I never find you here with me

You’ll swing me around, soon you’ll slip with a soundand lead me back toward the lost and foundIt’s only yours if you want since that’s your usual hauntor upstart from in the underground and I’ll see you there

Oh well, I’m turning my place inside and outand upside-down againand I’m sure you’re around, wearing the shirt that you foundthat I couldn’t track to save my skinUh-0h, I’m learning to sewas I start to think it’s gone by the byUh-0h, I guess that I know that you’re outsideand you won’t see me in

You’ll swing me around, soon you’ll slip with a soundand lead me back toward the lost and foundIt’s only yours if you want since that’s your usual hauntor upstart from in the underground and I’ll see you

When you get through which should be easier to do,because the rest more or less is in the last recessesSo wait in Limbo which should start to resemble the steps that lead to my roomSo I’ll see you soon

You’ll swing me around, soon you’ll slip with a soundand lead me back toward the lost and foundIt’s only yours if you want since that’s your usual hauntor upstart from in the underground and I’ll see you there

Oh well, you’re there in behind a line of trees,a bygone in my sleevesand you can sleep with the sound of all the leaves all around,but I know I’ll find you here with me

What Am I Supposed To Dowell, i guess you knewwe were short of breaking even when we headed north the 4th of Julybut you learn something everydaywell, i doubt that’s truebut we went out again in august and i’ve figured how to get me byand i wondered what you’d say

what am i supposed to do with youweren’t you gonna see me through, cause you said that you wanted toso i’ll just sit and wait for my cue till you let me knowi don’t want to let it go so tell mewhat am i supposed to do

so we turned it aroundand we headed south again to try to breathe a little closer to homedo you know what i mean at allcause i missed this towni know that’s a bit uneven but i’d like to make it my ownand i’d maybe give you a calli know you understand but

what am i supposed to do with youweren’t you gonna see me through, cause you said that you wanted toso i’ll just sit and wait for my cue till you let me knowcause i don’t want to let it go so tell mewhat am i supposed to do when

maybe you’ll hear me or maybe not you knowi thought that by now i’d put this awayand let it all slide on but now i’m surei’ve got to figure it out, figure it out, figure it outnow i know

so tell me what am i supposed to do with youweren’t you gonna see me through, cause you said that you wanted toso i’ll just sit and wait for my cue till you let me knowi don’t want to let it go so tell mewhat am i supposed to do

Paintsblue eyes, holding me faststanding under the streetlightthe scenes we traced and outlines we sketchedshow under the canopy

oh, but i can’t draw this all out to scaleand frame it to hang on your wallall of the pictures in tomes on my floorleave me to draw out my own

sunrise marking the timeto turn away from the horizonand leave the wind and architectureto lean against arches in mist

oh, but i can’t draw this all out to scaleand frame it to hang on your wallall of the pictures in tomes on my floorleave me to draw out my own

morning is brighter still, my overcoat blowing aroundleaning hard into the wind, blinded as i quicken my pacefolding the ticket i hold in my handglancing ahead as i’m passing the standon into the line and down through the halltrying to see as i’m closer in stridebeneath the marquee as i turn to the sideand notice the painting that hangs on the walland turn into the sun

lines fall down by designblending into the backdropmove me fast and through your front roomto pull venetian red blinds

oh, but i can’t draw this all out to scaleand frame it to hang on your wallall of the pictures in tomes on my floorleave me to draw out my own (with paints of my own)

Done Me WrongPlease just don’t leave me aloneI’m tired of runnin’, got nowhere else to goPlus I’m used to these tired wallsthat we hung it all on in hopes it would not fall

But I’ll feel like you done me wrongif you feel like it’s time to say goodbye

Hang your coat there by the doorgive me a kiss if I won’t see you anymoreand let me frame you and comparehow I pictured you here but now you’re standing there

But I’ll feel like you done me wrongif you feel like it’s time to say goodbye

Hey, what are you gonna do leave me here behind youHey, now are you gonna go let’s forego this whole showHey, why do you act this way, maybe you should hear me sayHey, I’ll be the one here who’ll always stay to play the fool

But I’ll feel like you done me wrongif you feel like it’s time to goand I’ll feel like you done me wrongif you feel like it’s time to say goodbye

After Whilethere’re flies in the kitchen and holes in my shoesand i can’t wait to see you soon and i will if i can get throughthere’re holes in my pockets and really what’s moreis i can’t tell you for the life of me what am i going to do

you in the willow trees with all the birds and bees and all the leaves up in a pileand as you’re growing faint, you’re saying something quaint as you smilelike, “i’ll see you after while”

there’re flowers in the window and mud on the floorand white candles there you lit with a match in the sun and the wind blew outand saturday mornings are always so quietand i can’t say just what i’d do if i did have to do without

you in the willow trees with all the birds and bees and all the leaves up in a pileand as you’re growing faint, you’re saying something quaint as you smilelike, “i’ll see you after while”

you’re in the willow trees with all the birds and bees with your clothes all in a pileand now i’m growing faint, you’re saying something quaint as you smilelike, “let’s stay here for a while”

So Say So LongMust I always be alone, thought to call you on the phoneand say come overbut I’ll sit here on the floor, maybe play a little morebut I’m not sure

Some Saturday before too long you’ll come my wayand we’ll stop to say “Hello” and just move on

Now we’re driving in my car, don’t know where the Hell we areand we don’t care, don’t give a damn nowBut we’ll find our way alright, you’ll be where you are and Iwill be where I am

Some Saturday before too long you’ll come my wayand we’ll stop to say “Hello” and just move on

Some Saturday not too far along you’ll come my wayand we’ll stop to say “Hello” and just move on

Must I always be alone, thought to call you on the phoneand say something newBut there’s nothing left to say, save for “Thanks for yesterday,and I’ll see you sooner or later when my line’s a little straighter,but for now, ‘Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye'”So say, “So long.”

Although I Hate ItAlthough I hate it, now I’ll find muse to drawor I’m sure that someone will finally notice and surely know this is allSo hold my calls, I’m running out of things to sayand I need a minute to play this all out or I’ll be found out anywayDidn’t you hear me saying there’s something on the tip of my tongue

I hope that you know, I don’t like repeating myself, that’s why I don’t say much anymoreSo once in a while, I’m quoting somebody else, just so I won’t have said it before

I like to think there’s something that would move this alongJust like I thought that it would get easier but now I’m sure I was wrongHold that thought while I run this one into the groundI’ll write it down if I feel I earned this and maybe I’ll turn this aroundI seem to get the feeling that you don’t believe me any longer

I hope that you know, I don’t like repeating myself, that’s why I don’t say much anymoreSo once in a while, I’m quoting somebody else, just so I won’t have said it beforeDon’t tell me anything now, I think I’ve fooled myself againI hope that you know, I don’t like repeating myself, that’s why I don’t say much anymoreSo once in a while, I’m quoting somebody else, just so I won’t have said it before

Did You ForgetYou wrapped your legs around me in the sex we didn’t have last nightMy fingers trailing down the small of your backwere caught in the charm that you wear on your wristas the weight of your arm came to rest in my fist

And while I traced around the side that I could see from the lightthrough the window that had slipped through the cracksin the blinds that you pulled every time you were hereI moved to feel you breathe in my earI’m so familiar with the way this always moves that Icould read ahead to find the next thing to sayand tell you the ending cause I always knowI fall asleep in your arms then you always go

Did you forget what you told me beforecause I find you here every now and thenYou couldn’t stay as the story goesSo why are you here where you’ve always been

Of course it’s not the first time that I’ve slept with thisand I’ve watched more often than I’d care to admitAnd I know it always comes to an endbut I do get to see you againBut between what I remember there’s always something else that I missedand It seems its changing every time that I play itbut if this is what I wrote or recallit’s only me that can remember at all

Did you forget what you told me beforecause I find you here every now and thenYou couldn’t stay as the story goesSo why are you here where you’ve always been

You wrapped your legs around me in the sex we didn’t have last nightand off my shoulder I know what I heard you sayas I’m the one to always listen like thievesI fell asleep in your arms and you didn’t leave

Did you forget what you told me beforecause I find you here every now and thenYou couldn’t stay as the story goesSo why are you here where you’ve always beenLa Da Da Da

all the things you’re asking for are not ever gonna changeall that you are asking for, we won’t ever have to fightbut all these things we’ve come to know are not now or ever gonna to changeall that you are asking for is dead

everyone knows that we waited too longand now it’s too late to go backand why you dig up what we buried is somethingi don’t understand and in factit’s not that no one understands you and it’snot that it’s even rareit’s true what you say but then what you should knowis its really that no one cares

Friend of a Friendi almost feel as i should say helloand we’d talk small and short as if we were friendsbut we are not friends, and we are not the samebut to tell you the truth, i see me in you

and i am a friend of a friend if you will i guessand i am afraid that i cannot explain the rest

if i seem familiar, as if we’d met beforethere might be something there to remind you of whenwe were introduced around, but what is there in a nameit might seem as though it’s on the tip of your tonguebut i am a friend of a friend if you will i guessand i am afraid that i cannot explain the rest

and i understand, cause it has been a whileand i wouldn’t know what to say, or how to beginbut it’s probably that some things will never changeand it really has been good to see you again

i am a friend of a friend if you will i guessand i am afraid that i cannot explain the rest

If You Wouldyour first impression was my best yet introductionand it led me there to the door of your roomyou named your plants and you’d speak to them sweetlywith a place for everything, and everything placed neatlyand i told you how i had named my carthe wicked witch of the west cause it wouldn’t work in the rainand you’d wrap yourself in your blue scarf againthat you wore as a dress before the rains came in

i’d like to stay a little longerand i’d be happy if i couldi’d like to say, i’d like to stay, i’d like to stay if you would

so we walked wet for a while, headed for your buildingand you carried your dog and i kissed your facewhen we made it home, back to where we startedwe would lie there alone, in your steam heat apartment and smile

i’d like to stay a little longerand i’d be happy if i couldi’d like to say, i’d like to stay, i’d like to stay if you would

well i hear of you now from time to timebut i rarely see your facethough it’s been quite a while, i’m still not quite surewhere to put you anymore

i’d like to stay a little longerand i’d be happy if i couldi’d like to say, i’d like to stay, and i would stay if you would

Memento Morithe speakers are humming and i think that they’re lying to meand the things that upset me are always so hard to put downand out from my window you can make out just the edges and skinof the life that you keep that that we know that you’ll not be long in

i can’t see you from herei can’t see you from hereand it isn’t like it isn’t like youi can’t see you from here

and it will be for sure and it won’t be as long as you thinkand you’re place will be set and i’ll stay where i know i can seethe fingers from streetlights they turn and play tricks in the lawnand we’re all here but one, and you’re finally buried and gone

i can’t see you from herei can’t see you from hereand it isn’t like it isn’t like youi can’t see you from here

Mme C–you’ve caught me at the perfect timeand in that i have come to find thatthis will be important or it simply will not beand it could go in many waysso fan them out on full displayand see how few of them you’d want to leave

i wouldn’t say, at leastthat you and this could be the end of mebut i’d like to see, at leastjust what it might be worth to know

then again i might have guessedthat there’d be some things with the restthat might just make this harder than it should bebut i might find the bracelets from your wristlying on my floor, and with thisi do think this somehow could be good

i wouldn’t say, at leastthat you and this could be the end of mebut i’d like to see, at leastjust what it might be worth to know

it’s about to get interesting if it hasn’t yetit’s about to get interestingit’s about to get interesting if it hasn’t yetit’s about to get interesting

My Last WordsI meant to tell you as if that means a thingbut I meant everything you heard beforeI said a lot that you found you could ignorebut since you’re here today there must be something more to say

These are my last words to youI know now that you can’t stayThese are my last words to youSo say what you want to say

It doesn’t matter what I thought you saidas it was clearly something elseBut I wanted you, so I told myselfthat I could trust your sway to say at least enough to stay

These are my last words to youI know now that you won’t stayThese are my last words to youSo say what you want to say

But can you hear me disappear as quietly as when we metSo do listen closely if you want to hear, cause this is as loud as I get

Save MyselfAlways the prophet I knew the end and given chance I made it trueand so I wrote the Bible and read aloud the last word I spelled out for youUnder my breathe you heard me say, “You make me wish that I believed”but understand that even with your word I never doubted you would leaveI don’t know what you think, but you should know it wasn’t me you knewI was always sure to keep enough to save myself from you

So Sunday morning I’d go to see you, dressed up in your favorite shoesI wore a suit and sat up straght and passed the empty plate to youI’m sure I probably held on to me much too tightly for too longBut with everything I thought I knew, I hoped for once that I’d be wrongI don’t know what you think, but you should know it wasn’t me you knewI was always sure to keep enough to save myself from you

I had a feeling He overheard me talking to myself todaybut true to form if nothing else, I couldn’t think of what to saySometimes I see Him walking by and act like I just didn’t seebut I’d like to stop Him and say “Hello” and ask Him if you pray for meI don’t know what you think, but you should know it wasn’t me you knewI was always sure to keep enough to save myself from you

Smilespeak to me kindly, you know you remind me of someone i mostly don’t know anymorewell if it’s alright then, just until light then, i might again sleep on your floorsmile and tell me goodbye if you’re gonna go, if you’re gonna gosmile sweet, you should know i don’t want you to though

yesterday found me alone in the foundry with nothing around me but iron and steeli’d like to show you and make my way home too but i’ve nowhere to go to and i’m asleep at the wheelsmile and tell me goodbye if you’re gonna go, if you’re gonna gosmile sweet, you should know i don’t want you to though

this morning i missed you and really i wish you were here to see this too and we’d sit in the aislesee, it’s not the first time and it’s not the worst time but it’s been the best i’ve felt in a whilesmile and tell me goodbye if you’re gonna go, if you’re gonna gosmile sweet, you should know i don’t want you to though

Something Wonderful is About to Happenyou’ve seen it all before nowit’s easier to ignore howi’d like to hear you, confound ityou’ve found a place for everythingand i’ve something new to singand now you don’t make a soundto be completely honestthere’s something here in all thisi’d rather not say out loudi’m standing in the back roomwith all the flowers in bloomyou talk to me like a crowd

and this is not to say i’m the only one to say thisi’m probably more naive than the rest of thembut there are more of us that choose to believethat something wonderful is about to happen…wait and see

i cannot keep you still thething that really kills mewhile you act like i’m someone to flatteris it’s all the same to youwhile you float around the roombut see the thing is, it matterswell, that’s enough of this thenyou’re to and from the kitchenso turn and look away if you mustyou know you seem to meas everything has gone to seedbut you could be one of us

and this is not to say i’m the only one to say thisi’m probably more naive than the rest of thembut there are more of us that choose to believethat something wonderful is about to happen

We’re Still Herehow are we so far awaycause it seems we’ve been off for a whileand what made us think that we couldfind our way back through the woodsmostly they’re back at the fireand years from where we are nowso at worst we are lostand surely, at best we’re all gonebut it won’t be long before dawn

and we’re all still here tonightand we’re helpless to find our way back homebut we’re safe and all of us knowbecause we are always hereand we never die

something has turned us aroundcause something’s on top of us nowbut somehow i seem to believethat i know my way through the treesand sure, we forget who we arecause we know we’re bigger than thisand so we keep this for usand everyone we brought alongto be here where we all belong

and we’re all still here tonightand we’re helpless to find our way back homebut we’re safe and all of us knowbecause we are always hereand we never die

and as for me i’m one of three to take the trail west, our best guessand one that leads out to the pass where we staymore and more we feel possesed and more or less the test is we’re restlesson every other day but not todayso maybe we’re home

and we’re all still here tonightand we’re helpless to find our way back homebut we’re safe and all of us knowbecause we are always hereand we never die

Where You LieI’m always here when the truth comes out, as every word past your lips rings trueand I’ve watched you cast out the shadow of doubt, and then make the music face youI’ve heard you speak to the weak with the sharp tongue you place in the face of tragedyAnd I’ve seen the scars pull apart as the heart starts to break in the wake of you honestyAnd all is lost if the truth be told and many would ask the sameHow could I still so tightly hold to the object of such disdain

I am always where you lieI am always where you lieI am always where you lieI am never off where you think I am

I’m always on stage when the curtain comes down and covers the play behind itand my great escape must await till I’ve found the act in which I’ve designed itI’ll play the fool as a rule and while you take the lead I will heed all the signsand I’ll take my seat at each beat and I’ll give you the show, but I know all your linesAnd as they stand I am standing for you and everyone here can seebut when they leave I will lead you to the way that you bow for me

I am always where you lieI am always where you lieI am always where you lieI am never off where you think I am

Where the wild-eyed all do bear my resemblanceThe blind lead the blind in chorus they singBut believe there’s a word behing my dissemblanceSilence is golden and I bought you a ring

You’re illusion that hold my delusion may die and reveal to you that I am the playbut this web we weave to believe makes a nice play to lie, but I’ll stay here todayIn spite of your tale you may fail to deceive and I believe the truth will set you freeSo I will mislead you and feed you the lines that I find will keep you here with me

I am always where you lieI am always where you lieI am always where you lieI am never off where you think I am
